Specification of Letters Patent. I I lPt'teiitl hilly lill., `1922.

Application' led. November 26, 1921. Serial No. 517,960.

I at gasoline stationsh and a purpose of my invention fis a provision of ahose locker which is constructed to normally house -water and air distributing pipes and mecha- ,nism for permitting the extensibility ofV such pipes to various oints within a cerl tain radius of the lloc er to allow of the p The brackets'20 are supported on tables' dispensing of air and water to \motor vehicles parked at different points about the locker.'

I will describe one form ofhose locker` embodying my invention, and will then pointv out the novel features thereof in claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 isa view Ashowing in vertical section one form of hose-locker embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a slightly enlar ed sectional .view taken at right an les tov ig. 1. y

Referring speci cally to the drawings in which similar reference characters-refer to similar parts, my invention, in its present embodiment, comprises an elongated casing K- of any desired cross sectional contour and formed at its lower end with a relatively wide base 15. The upper end of the casing is closed by a cover 16 upon which isV supported a lamp globe 17 'containing an incandescent lamp 18.

Extending into the casing-K through the lower end thereof and secured in vertical position by means of brackets 19, are pipes and P', the former constituting a water pipe, and the latter an air pipe'which are adapted to be connected at `their lower ends to water and airj reservoirs (not shown). r

The upper ends of the ipes I and P are curved inwardly and ownwai'dly where a'union 20 is formed' for connecting flexible pipes 21 and v22. These pipes 21 and 22 are'trained about pulleys 23 supported in brackets 24 adjacent the upper end of theV and pulleys 25 supported 1nbrack casing, ets 26 adjacent the lower end of the casing'.

y 25 move 27 which are movable H'vertically within the casing through the medium of rollers 28 mounted on the tables and on extensions 29. These rollers 28 are grooved to accommodate the pipes P and .P and a conduit C arranged centrally of the casing and in parallelism to sai/d pipes. By this arrangement itwill be seen that the rollers 28 have rolling Contact with the three pipes so -that the tables 27 and consequently the pulvertically within the leys 25 can be moved 27 are preferably casing. The tables weighted so as to normally maintain the pulleys 25 in their lowermost position.

Theconduit C is designed for the purpose of accommodating a conductor for supplying current to the-lamp 18, andv as will be understood, the conductor is `onnected to a suitable source of current to i luminate the lamp.

' As shown in the drawings, the free ends of the iiexible pipes 21 and 22 are adapted to be trained throu h grooved rollers,30 mounted in suitable rackets and disposed adjacent an outlet opening 31. The pipes are extended'through the opening 31 and have their ends provided with pet cocks 32 for controlling the dispensing of the uids therefrom. A cover 33 incloses the ends of the flexible pipes and also thev opening I31, and such cover is provided with a hinged section adapted to be secured in closedposition by means of a padlock 34..

In practice, the hinged section of the cover 33I is in open position to allow the flexible pipes to be' withdrawn from-the casing. The exible pipes. are so. trained about the pulleys as to allow their being extended the full length and to a suitable Idistance from the locker so that cars parked at various points about the locker can be reached. WhenV extending the flexible pipes, it will be understood that the ulleys u wardly within the casing with the pipes P and C functioning as tracks for the rollers 28. By virtue of the fact that the tables 27 are weighted, it will be clear that when the flexible pipes are released, the pulleys 25 will move to their lowermost position thereby retraining the pipes about the pulleys 'and thus drawing the same into the casing.

that various changes and modicatons may A i i i ill@ be made therein Without departing vlfrom. the yspirit of the invention and ,the Spiritv and scope of the appended claims. l

What I claim is:

1. A hose locker comprising a casing,

Huid. distributing pipes Within the casing includin rigid sectlons andi flexible seci tions,' pu leys within the casing about which said flexible sections arel trained, certain of- 10 said pulleys being bodily movable to permit of the untrainingand. retraining of the flexible sections, Welghted4 tables for supporting the movable pulleys, and'rollers carried by the tables and movable lover said rigidl sections for defining the movement of the tablespwithin the casing.- f

25A hose locker comprising a casing,- fluid dlstributing pipes, Within the casing able pulleys, and. rollers mounted on the tables and movable on said rigid-i pipe sections and said conduit. .v i f In'testimony whereof I have signed my name to this 'speciicatiom Q CHARLES E..;HILL
